The Lincoln Continental was the only four-door American-built convertible and it was as luxurious and automated as any car; interior controls are easily within ones fingertips. They were made with great care and craftsmanship to produce one of America’s most distinguished motorcars.

The long-admired lines of this Continental are well-presented utilizing the finest materials of the era to create a classic elegance. With its slab side styling and "suicide" doors for the rear passengers, there is no mistaking a 1960s era Continental for any other car. In an era predominantly recalled by automotive historians for its musclecars, the Lincoln Continental of that time bucks that trend by sticking to its luxury roots and doing so in a big way.

This particular four-door convertible has undergone a recent cosmetic restoration with new paint that is finished pleasingly in red. The interior is finished in black with an AM/FM radio and is equipped with a new top that has all new hydraulic lines for the power top. The engine is a 430-cid, 320-bhp V-8 engine backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. It is riding on whitewall tires and is highly-optioned with air conditioning; power steering, brakes, seats, windows, antenna, convertible top and door locks. This well-respected luxury liner comes complete with a large folder of service history and receipts. All the while, it is also reported to be a great running and driving example. This is an uncommon car with only 3,356 similar examples built during the 1965 model year.
